Staying at Andaz Shenzhen Bay was an absolute delight from start to finish. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and modern luxury. Florence, one of the staff members, went above and beyond with her thoughtful and attentive service—she anticipated needs before they were even voiced. The minibar in the room was well-stocked with a great variety of soft drinks, and the afternoon happy hour offered delicious bites with beautifully presented plating that added to the overall vibe. After returning from dinner, I was pleasantly surprised by a complimentary bedtime drink thoughtfully left by Florence—such a small gesture, but it truly made the stay special. Her kindness and professionalism stood out throughout my visit. This is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience worth repeating.
